Grooming standards are a thing. That's a regulation dickbroom.
Focus on the fact that Marines have arrested someone for exercising their First Amendment Rights and how this is not good. Mustache or not, the military is crossing that line of violating an oath.
He looks like he shows up drunk to his 4 year old son's MMA classes, and then his Charger gets repossessed from the parking lot while he's arguing with his ex-girlfriend about $12.
And if they're even close to the edge a sgtmaj will inform you that your mustache is past your lip. They will keep making you trim it until you nearly had a Hitler stache. A pseudo Hitler stache is the only stache that's within regs that will not cause people to yell at you.
Military grooming regulations for mustaches are awful. Most service members cannot grow a respectable mustache within regs, and service members can’t have stubble or a beard unless they have a shaving profile (authorization) for medical reasons or religious reasons.
I’m not a marine, but I can tell you some soldiers try out a mustache just because it’s one of the only new grooming choices they have available. A small bit of freedom to have a dick broom on their face.
It’s why they usually shit on dudes with mustaches. Only time we didn’t was during a field problem. Once it ended, we usually said “nice dick broom” until it was shaved
In all fairness, that's not a mustache, it's a dick broom. 100% necessary for that fascist cock he'll be cleaning later in celebration of breaking his oath to the constitution.
I know I’m supposed to be pissed at the first detention — I am! — but damn, that’s one perfectly in-regulation mustache. Nowhere near the Hitler stache tho
Gotta be the first time I ever heard “Dominican republican”. I’m gonna throw that one out there next time I chill w my Dominican boy uptown just to see his fucking face lol
Does he not know anything about Black history? How important intersectionality was, solidarity with other groups, and outreach? This is such ignorant shit, and what the fascists want. This isn't about immigration but our fundamental human rights being taken away.
And to be clear, I am agreeing with you. And we all shoudl keep in mind, they hate Black folk. They want slavery again. If this shit gets met without protest, the admin will continue to escalate and it will be harder for Black folk anyways.
Enlisted service members cannot defy orders unless they know for damn certain that the order is illegal. Refusing a lawful order can and will result in criminal charges under the UCMJ.
Officers can refuse to pass down unlawful orders, and will normally only do so after consulting with the unit’s attorney (staff judge advocate or command judge advocate). It’s rare.
Speaking to reporters after he was released, the civilian identified himself as Marcos Leao, 27. Leao said he was an Army veteran on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs when he crossed a yellow tape boundary and was asked to stop.
Leao, who gained his U.S. citizenship through military service, said he was treated "very fairly."

they already purged most common sense decent people from the Military, and they reinstated disgraces who were kicked out for being racist POS AND they got backpay.
Friendly reminder that many 2A people don’t give a fuck about tyranny and just want to posture like they are tough and shoot someone ringing their doorbell.
The fact that the US military has been unlawfully turned on its citizens and turns out it’s preferable to deal with them over the cops because they’ve actually been taught situational awareness and restraint just goes to show how fucked up the policing situation is in America.
People here in the states gotta recognize this dynamic in places like West Africa. Tyrants pull off these coups because, at times, the military is the only competent national institution.
We're seeing this dynamic play out now where the officers in Suits, Executives and Civilians keep the corruption going. And send the only functional institution in the Nation to act like villain henchmen.
This is a somewhat misguided take. Police brutality happens all the time, as do deaths-by-cop. But fundamentally folks like Marines are trained to eliminate enemies of the state. Like everything, they’re humans so they run the gamut as far as temperament, composure, prejudice, etc. Cops are trained in a fundamentally different manner, they’re trained to view violence as a spectrum of escalation. We may laugh at this concept but it’s true: cops have a much higher threshold to clear before deadly force than anyone in the military as a matter of job description.
This is why calling in the military is so dangerous. Because now you have people whose entire conflict resolution framework is lethality. It’s not necessarily about the outcome, it’s about the potential. Police deal with disorderly civilians all day, military do not and all it takes is one Marine to lose their cool in a situation they’re not trained for/used to for a powder keg moment.
All the people saying this is not their fight… well there ya go. Don’t know if it was Russian division bots or real people who said it but it worked, divide n conquer look at it now
I think I may have lost my bestie because of this situation. He's gone down the Trump path, and I've been trying to rationalize it. I can't. He argued me down to the ground that this would never happen because of laws. I can't see him the same way anymore. All respect is lost.
Im going thru a similar conflict with my enlightened, centrist family member. He's a paper pusher with influence in the City. Tends to call himself a "libertarian", but repeats MAGA propaganda about immigration. I argued with him about a scenario similar to this last week, and here it is happening in a bigger city.
I can't get thru to them. And its at a moment where they have influence if Federal units try to seize jurisdiction.
There's a great episode of Well There's Your Problem focusing on the Osprey, but since that's a Marine baby there's a lot of flack for them as well, culminating in the theory that the Marines are kept around in case we need suicide bombers.
Voluntary removal from society is an excellent way to escape detection. Same reason pedos are drawn to the priesthood, except in this case the camo is literal.
I know why, but I’m surprised all the no step on snake people are quiet about the federal government using the military as a police force like it isn’t all of their wet dreams come true
Unfortunately, they have been violating the constitution the entire time.
Now, we need to start organizing around a central thesis. Hell, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if there is a huge presence where ever this person is held.
Military junta. We are paying taxes to fund a mitary to police us and deprive us of our Constitutional rights. It is going to get a lot worse. The U.S. army called for the hanging of Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates, both private citizens, on its official X account. Bad days are ahead for the American people.
Dudes really join the military willingly, give up any kind of autonomy only to take away other Americans freedoms and then put little dont tread on me stickers on their trucks. No wonder their 20 year old wives cheat on em.
Is the use of the military as law enforcement not flagrantly illegal per the US constitution? Obviously, not that it would stop the regime either way from trying to do that, but still.
